If Clark wasn't going to follow orders, he could have resigned his commission and left the Army.

Oh, I think that's too harsh, Karen. I doubt he ever disobeyed a direct order. I've read several narratives of this and almost all agree that he simply was more aggressive about innovations than the joint chiefs were comfortable with. Sort of an early version of a Rumsfeld favored type today.

And he could get Cohen and Clinton and Albright and Berger to do things the chiefs could not. And they were not happy about that.
